crown. Hon. S. S. Cox at Huron. Huron, D. T., July 4. This city was magnificently decorated to-day, ami an immense crowd witnessed a procession two miles long. The guest and orator of the day was Hon. 8. 8. Cox, of NewYork, besides whom Governor Mellette and Jndgo Moody spoke. An audience of 10.000 people gave enthusiastic greeting to Mr. Cox. who spoke next. The speaker considered the inadequacy of the articles of confederation which led to the constitutional era of 1780. He held that the ascending series of acts which culminated in our Constitution and in the French revolution, barring its excesses, was the end which crowned the work and made the year V&J Annus Mirabilis. Discussing the matter of lands, he referred to the recent events connected with Indian reservations and treaties, and laid down the doctrine ai follows: "Fate may be hard upon the savage occupants; but after all, under the laws of evolution, and of Conirress. the superior civilization when encountering the inferior must succeed. It is the philosophy of the history of social advancement under the di vine orders; it is for us to apply it in the true spirit of humanity. The great ness of this country is based on the broad foundation of our public land. We look askance at a landed aristocracy; we dis trust alien control: we dislike nominal oc cupancy; we tolerate no reserved or laggard S .! a a a. a . 1 : a.: lnaiiierenco 10 us permanent uiiuzauun. nor the removal of the toiler, lins is based, on Holy Writ itself, it was never more prevalent than now in the movement of all nations who have risen in greatness, whether.by the subjuga tion and weakness of alien races, or better methods." .. . Mr. Cox then spoke of the early history of Dakota. He justified the admission of the new btates. and glancing at the Supreme Court as the conservative element in our constitutional order and minimizing the perils to our system, which had been discussed during the centennial year. He nnswered the argument that the increase of States was dangerous to our stability by quoting from Madison, and illustrating by the movement of the world that local selfiroverninent would carry our federal frontier with more strength and durability than a limited boundary, and that the more our stars multiplied, the grander and farmer will be our federation. r THE DAY IN INDIANA.

"Why Switzerland Acceded to Russia's Demands Regarding the Anarchists. The Entombed French Miners Da vitt's Testimony Before the Parnell Commission The World's Sunday-School Convention. TIIE REFUGE OF. ANARCHISTS. Motives That Caused Switzerland to Acqni esce in Russia's Demands. Srecial to tho Indianapolis Journal. London, July 4. Although Switzerland has disappointed the admirers of the dramatic by appearing to yield to the threats of Germany and Russia, the Bundesrath has pleased the great majority of people in Europe by strengthening governmental control over foreigners resident in her territory. Switzerland is a republic and the home of liberty, but it is also the showplace of Europe, and tho mere possibility of any dissensions there would frighten away tho annual swarm of tourists at tho busiest season of the year. The action of the Bundesrath was in the interests of the hotel-keepers and the numerous classes whoso income would be totally cut off by the bare rumor of complications. The groups of conspirators at Geneva, Berne and other cities spead comparatively little money, and are not loved overmuch by their thrifty neighbors, but they have been tolerated from the spirit of independence native to tho Helvetian mind and an aversion to dictation from other powers. If the new publio prosecutor proves active, the Anarchists and advanced Socialists may be compelled to leave Switzerland, and these, it is stated, aro already quietly discussing in their councils the locality of their next refuge. The people ot the United States will probably be not much grieved to learn that America is scarcely considered as a probable asylum. If there were no other objection to America, the curious one raised" by M. . Essippotf. the Anarchist, would probably suffice. He says that somo of their most ardent adherents had become corrupted by a year or two's residence in the United States, aud, having acquired some small property there, did not hesitate to openly proclaim their contempt for and hostility to anarchy and all Anarchists. If compelled to leavo Switzerland the unappreciated patriots will undoubtedly make their headquarters' in London. M. Drox. tho Swiss Minister of Foreign Attairs, speaks of the subject with his usual complacency. He says the German and Kussiau officials would have shown more wisdom by allowing theso gentry to remain quietly in the small cities, where they can be easily watched, rather than driving them into the wilderness of London, where they will find it much harder to track their game; "but, as a matter of fact," said he, "these people have not been dangerous here, and we have been compelled to watch the German provocative spies more closely than the Anarchists."

London Standard. The steamer Congobrings news from New Calabar of a most revolting sacrifice. It seems that a few months ago the old King of Eboe died, and, as is customary in that part of the country, the traders from New Calabar went up to pay their respects ' to the new monarch. The traders were awaro that for a short time after tho old King's death the,"Iu Iu" rites are performed, hut they thought that these were over. Tho deceased monarch's name was Imphj', and to the horror of the English traders the "Iu Iu" ceremonies were at their highest when they entered Eboe town. Tho rites had been in operation for about two months, and nlreadv about fortv people had been slain to anpeaso the 'Iu lu" gods. Tho old 1 a " .1 l- 1 1 Jvmg was iiirn jyiUK in u gnivo y uicu nau been due for him. f he hole was a lareo one and deep. Lying in the same gravo were nine ot the King's youngest wives, and their deaths had been brought about in the most cruel manner. Each of the poor creatures had both her wrists and ankles oroKen. so tnat they could neither walk nor crawL In this state, and sullerine the most excruciating pain. the unfortunate creatures were placed at the bottom of the grave, seven of them lying side by 6ide. The body of the King was then laio on them in a transverse direction. The two remaining women- were laid down bv the side of the Kiug. lying exactly like'the monarch's body. No food or water was given to tne poor creatures, who were left in that position to die,. It is said that death did not. as a rule, take place for four or live days. Four men wero statioued round the trrave. armed with clubs, ready to knock back with these weapons any of the women who, notwithstanding t heir maimed condition, were able to crawlto the side of the grave. In other parts of the town, further human sacrifices were taking place. Suspended from various trees were the bodies of several men. These poor fellows were also enduring the most agouizing death. In most instances holes had been bored through their feet just by the ankles. Through the holes ropes were drawn and tho men were tied to a high tree. Their heads were of course hanging downward. The men wero there left to die. The traders, as they were proceeding along, were unwilling witnesses of a frightlul sacrificial execution. They saw a number of natives in a group, and went to the spot to see what was taking place. To their horror the white men saw a native tied by the feet aud neck. The rope attached to the neck was thrown over a tree in one direction, and the rope attached to his feet was tied to a tree in tho opposite direction. The ropes were then drawn tightly, and w hen the body was tlistended to its utmost length another native with a hatchet struck the neck and severed the head from the body. The head was taken to the grave -where the King was lying, whilo the nody was eaten by the cannibal natives. The white men could do nothing to stop the barbarous practices, as to interfere

Copious Extracts from the Jast Issue of the Arlfcona KJcker., Detroit Free Press. For the last pi: months Major Davis, of this burg, has ioU no opportunity. of' abusing us and boast in of what he would do if wo did not step eottiy. The reason for this conduct lies in tha fictthat the Kicker not only called bin? a horse-thief, but I proved him a bigamist besides. Last Saturday tho Major, who ha. no iiorn right to that title than a mule L.is tc that of "professor," borrowed a s?.otuiiand gave out that he had camped cn cur trail and meant to riddle our system with buck-6hot on sight. Word was brought to us, and although wo were very bc?v r t t!.M tiino superintending . ourcombinl :ly newspaper, harnessshop, grocery, huiar ; id gun store (all Under one roDi, imd t'jc i. rest retail establishment in Ar:wit; laid abide onr work and weLt ov rio Suvder's Baloonin search of the Major. We lound him, and we gave him such a whipping as no man in this town ever got beforo. He lies a broken and strnndtd wreck ou tho shores of time, so to speak, and the doctor nays it will be six weeks. bef ore ho will find any more trails to do any .sore camping. Slipped a Co. In company with the elito of this neighborhood, we were invited to the abode of . Jndgu Graham, last Thursday evening, to witness the marriage of County Clerk Dan Scott, to the beautiful Arabella Johnson, only daughter of the aristocratic widow Johnson, of Hay Horso Heights. The widow had made a spread worthy of the daya of Cleopatra, ana Dan had on a new suit, sent by express from Omaha, for the occasion. Lverythiug passed off pleasantly until 8 o'clock, at which hour the bnde was discovered to bo missing, and investigation soon brought out tho fact that sho had gone dead' back on Dan, and skipped the tra-la, whatever that is, with a bold cowboy named French Jim. She left a messago to tho effect that she could never, never love a man with a cataract in his left eye, and that'ineant Dan. There was a feast, but no wedding, and Daniel will have to try ap-aiii. No Harm DoneThe boys got after a stranger tho other evening who was pointed out as a horse-thief, and ran him all over town with the object of pulling him up to a limb. ' In some manner ho gave them the lip, and in their zeal they got hold of Judge Downey and held him up to a limb for over a minute before the error was discovered. Tho Judge is cu-gning around with a sore throat and a still neck and threatens to bring about fifty damage suits. Take a friend's advice, Judge, nnd hush up. You got otr powerful easv, considering your general character. While it was a mistake, the boys were not so far wrong after all. We wish such mistakes would occur oftener. We Bide Onr Time-While selling Mrs, Colonel Preseott four nound of nnines for half a dollar the other day Constable Huttou entered and asked ns to step arrows tho street to tho ollico of Ksnuire Williams. We obeyed tho request, ami were at onco served with a warrant charging us with keeping bales of hay on the sidewalk in front of the Kicker ollice to tho detriment of pedestrians. As is well known, wo run a . grocery, feed store, harness shop, bazaar and music house m connection with the Kicker, and the hay was out for a sign. We were tried, convicted and lined 1 the grossest outrage ever perpetrated in tho name of tho law. We shall bide our time. That is, we shall begin next wjrek and show 'Nruire Williams up as a drunkard, dead beat, absconder, embezzler aud perjurer, and if we can't drive him out of tho country in six weeks we'll forfeit a lung. The man who mado the complaint did it to get even with us for refusing to leud him our pnlj' buttonbehind shirt. From this out ho is a marked man. fWo will begin on him next week, and we'll bet ten to one he hangs himself inside of a month. Child' Humor, rhnidelphla Ledger.
